Oh. My. Freaking. Gosh. I can finally say okurr without sounding like a broken air conditioning!

Your video is what helped this Spanish student to finally roll her r’s. I thought it was hopeless but after a month of tada, tada, tada whenever I was alone, I finally succeeded. From the bottom of my heart, mil gracias. ❤️😊

Start after 1:00.

Been saying things like "t-d" for a few hours now whilst i've been doing other stuff and finally i'm getting a little trill every now and then, Thank You!! I genuinely though i'd never be able to do it!

Finally, after looking absolutely everywhere for a helpful video I found one that did. I was originally trying to learn it for Spanish. Thanks a ton! "Grazie" !

Thank you so much for posting this! It worked so well ❤️

Great video. Love the little t/d trick for training the muscle. Think this was just what I was missing. I am learning this for Spanish at the moment but will definitely help with my Italian too. Thanks for posting 😁👍🏻

Native Spanish speaker friends of mine suggested is practice rolling my “r”s by saying “ferrocarril” (rail road). I repeated that word over and over for days to get it right. In Italian it is “strada ferrata.” Just another suggestion. Ciao, Bob.

After viewing many Spanish trill R sound pronunciation video, this is the most helpful one, hooray to td!

just practicing this during the video I have noticed a massive improvement - Thank you!

Thanks for your useful tips!

Thank you so much for the TD trick!

No, no, your accent is AMAZING. Well done.

i love you guys!!! Thank you so much!!!!

omg the t d method is really helping!!!

Thank you!

Can you please do a video on trilling the double RR sound in Italian? Thank you

this is amaxing thankyou

Grazie

Muito bom

Wow.... this actually helped out a lot! Thanks!

My Italian relatives always tease me about this. But not antymore!

amazing thanks so very very much ! grrrrrrreat help (couldn't help myself)

I've been doing the t-d for a long time, already knowing of the trick. I've also been trying alveolar flaps, which are very easy for me to do. I have learned to do bilabial trills, velar, and uvular trills in the process of trying to learn the alveolar trill. I have learned literally every single other pulmonic consonant in the IPA alphabet, but I just still cannot seem to do the alveolar trill. I can do a breathy voiced velar trill while adding ventricular fold distortion and simultaneously doing a bilabial trill. Even so I just cannot get the alveolar trill for some reason.

This is great! The t/d trick is brilliant - i can already roll after a t, eg tre. But i can't get it after a vowel, eg burro. I am trying bu-td-ro but it sounds with far too much t. Any idea for exercises to get into the trill without too much t sound?

Also works for Catalan.

I could never roll my R's. After following your suggestion and practicing for about 5minutes I can get a very crude "roll". I definitely need more practice, but I've already doing so much better than I've ever done.

Your American accent is not terrible. At least "butter" sounds exactly the same as when I say it. Thanks for the tips!

Omg so this is where they began before easy italian

Literally the first tip

what about r's that do not come after t's???? Example - Rico...I understand the d sound in 'caro' but how would you do 'carro'?

i really try to keep on doing it and practicing but it hurts my voice. Is this a common pitfall?

I don't even know/learn Spanish or Italian, but i just already know how to make the R sound.

Great North American accent!

you might actually be one of the few ones who have realized that the intravocalic Italian 'r' is the American flap T. Good news, though, if you come live in Rome, you're only mostly going to have to use the flap t/Italian R sound. I, for instance, have some serious problems doing the hard R sound. :D In Rome, we reduce most of the R sounds to the flap t's. :D It's a slang thing, but can come in handy :D The Spanish R is even harder. In Italian we don't have that sound. And I can only imagine... if the regular Italian double R sound is hard enough, the Spanish one's gonna be impossible :D

How long does it take with the td sound

My Italian family teases me cuz idk how to roll my rs so ima prove them wrong

Tip 3 is how I learnt the sound.

The "t-d" thing is interesting! You can actually see this happen accidentally in an episode of Brooklyn 99, where Andy Samberg says "What'd I miss?!" and he rolls the "t'd" part and then does it a couple more times. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gK1kdLmE09qpdac.html

My name is Shailesh and I can not troll Rs words. Help me by any trick or therapy.. . .When I troll "Rrrrrrrr" then goes out "jjjjjjjjjjj"...😢😢😢😢😢

Katie, I hope you don’t go around Sheffield rolling your “R’s”. (the Americans won’t understand the joke!)

I'd like it she would or he would have repeated the correct pronunciation more than once or twice. And say the tongue twister more than once.

I need to say okurtt

Who are these children?
